Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

So you suggest they ' train ' 16 hours per day after just playing a hard season , after being travelling for 30 odd hours ? |

30 hours from England to Australia?
Which way do you think they go?
You don't have to train 16 hours a day.... but when you are as poor as England it might be advisable to do a bit more than they are currently doing |

No one seems to care about doing the important things... ie actually winning games. I cant find the quote but I've read somewhere that Steve McNamara has said the idea to go down under for the 4 nations is 'to have a good time'
Barry McKenzie witnessed first hand the way the England side were in Australia in 2008 during the world cup. I saw members of the team walking around Surfers Paradise making cracks about the women and laughing and joking amongst themselves....on more than one occasion. I personally saw one local threaten to put quite a prominent member of the England team on his árse for making comments about his girlfriend.... pity he didnt. I saw 6 or 7 of the squad (including Tony Smith and Steve McNamara) visiting Australia Zoo in Qld whilst giggling and pushing each other around like a group of prepubescent school girls. Keith Senior was rooting some old slapper rather than doing what he was supposed to be doing...until his girlfriend found out. No wonder he wasn't allowed to go this time ![]()
So, nothing as 'bad' as the extra-curricular activities of a certain Australian RL legend over as player on the '82 tour then ?

Bad behaviour from sportsmen is nothing new ... doesnt make it right.
But if you are an ordinary player in an ordinary team its wise to use your time constructively rather than eating icy poles, rooting old molls and sunbathing. |

Where on earth are you staying in Sydney?
Your hotel must be about 5 hours away from the airport going on your figures

obviously there has to be some winding down but not to the point where the players are basically taking the . Your there to win Rugby League matches and not treat it as a free holiday in the Sun.
The question you need to ask is would NZ or Australian players be doing the same thing?

So you admit you cannot do the trip in under 30 hours , flying time alone is around 23/24 , LA to Sydney is 13 hours , then 2/3 hours before flying , minimum 2 hours stop over half way
Anyway Barrie you most probably are correct , we will lose to both the convicts and the world champions , then again personnally I couldn't care less how we do

Why do you not care about your country's own team.
I don't get this I'm not bothered about England attitude,surely the pinnacle of our game is for your country to do well in any International competition,I would give anything for England to win the World Cup in 2013. |

Do you have any links to prove such allegations. I'd be interested to read them. |

I used to be , went to a few internationals , but not too fussed any more , the game above the Championships dont float my boat , then again the game below SL isn't that interesting anymore either , just ' apathy ' creeping in I suppose |

Only spent 2 hours in Sydney , all my trips have been to the ' Shakey Isles ' , but no matter , it's still 30 hours ' travelling ' either way
The reason I go through LA is it's only a one hour flight to Vegas from there  |
